Should I Be Concerned About BP Of 128/92?
I'm 41 years old, female non-smoker, but I am 40 pounds overweight. I go to my rheumatologist every three months. Today my BP was 138/96 and two weeks ago I went to my general practicioner when I was sick and my BP was 128/92. Should I be concerned about this? Neither doctor seemed concerned enough to mention it during their initial exam.

dear patient,
you should consult to your General practitioner again for repeat blood pressure management...if it comes again above 140/90. then you should go for weight reduction and diet modification... 10 lb weight reduction will decrease your bp by 9/4 mmhg
